Sally Pearson was joined by Benn Harradine and Alana Boyd in posting Commonwealth Games A qualifiers at the Queensland Track Classic in Brisbane.

Pearson, coming off consecutive wins over Melissa Breen in the 100 metres, dipped under the A stand for a fifth time courtesy of her 11.27, winning ahead of Papua New Guinea's Toea Wisil (11.58) Queensland's Michelle Cutmore (11.60).

"The result was better than I thought it would be, so I am happy with that," Pearson said.

"I've just been holding on since the World Indoors because I did so much work to get ready for that and on the whole I felt pretty fresh which is great."

Harradine produced a solid series of throws to win the men's discus, his season best of 65.94m enough to beat world youth champion Matthew Denny, who took second with a B qualifier of 59.04m.

"I expected to throw well here tonight being my training venue and having had a pretty good block of preparation I thought I would hit a mark pretty similar to what I did," Harradine said.

"That being said, it's good to know that things are starting to come together and I hope to progress that through to the Commonwealth Games."

National record holder Boyd cleared 4.50m to triumph in the women's pole vault, her sixth A qualifier of the domestic season.

Fellow London Olympian Elizabeth Parnov was second with a B mark of 4.20m.

"As defending champion the Commonwealth Games are a really exciting prospect," Boyd said.

"I'm going to need something bigger than tonight to win there though so between now and then it is about getting it right and performing well."

In other results, Great Britain's 2009 world champion Phillips Idowu, who is currently based in Brisbane working under Gary Bourne, took out the men's triple jump with a best effort of 16.63m.
